Rescue divers of the State Emergency Service received the charitable Golden Glove award in the “Rescuer of the Year” category for an underwater operation carried out last winter on the equipment of one of the thermal power plants in Kyiv.
Last winter, a critical pipe at one of the capital’s thermal power plants was damaged by Russian shelling, causing widespread flooding. The temperatures were 15 degrees below zero.
The complex operation lasted six days in icy water. The divers worked in a narrow shaft, without communication, effectively “blind.”
